THE COLONIES. CAPE BRETON. irrom the last letters from Halifax, it appears 'ti►at tl►e Earl of DALHOUSIE, with I►is usual 'prompt attention to every thing concerning the interest anti welfare of British North America, and the navigation of the Mother Country, in consequence of the - documents laid before him, of . the foss of several ships and vessels, with their crews, upon the north-east point of Cape Breton during 1816, had made the necessary representa tions to the Governor 7 Generai, and that his Ex cellency bad ret:ommena _cc. to his Majesty's Mi tiisters the necessity of erecting a Light-house on the Island of St. Paul.-- , Since then another - ship has been wrecked there dining the last fall, Will it is supposed that every soul perished. Under these melancholy circumstances, we have not the least doubt but the Lords of the Admiralty will, With their accustomed promptitude, give orders for the erection, in the ensuing summer, of a Light-house on the Island above-ntentioned. it also appears, that Mr. Locxwoot) has com pleted his Maxine Survey of the British America!) Colonies, including the Bay of Fundy, its several branches, and the Baum of Mines, and that his vessel, the Examiner, has been ordered to be sold. We hope, fot• the interests of Navigation, that when these Charts are. completed and en graved, they will be accessible to the Public, and may he purchased by them in like manner as the Official .Sur•veys of Great Britain are now allowed by the Board of Ordnance to be sold. In all the letters from these Provinces it is stat er!, that great fears prevail that a duty is intended to be imposed' on Colonial Timber, and a reduc tion to be made in the present duties on Foreign Timber imported into the United Xinglorn ; in consequence of nhiA a great stagnation of trade has taken place from the uncertainty which exists in this respect. We Lament exceedingly that Mi nisters have not made known their ►letermination on this strlject, on arconnt of the injurious ef fect it has had not only on the Shin-Owners, but also on the Shippers of Gou4s to British North • America.

EDITOR,—It is not altogether the regard Roman Catholics have for religiOn, that arimates them to claim admission into trust and power. It is.• their ambition to share both with the Pro testants of the Church ; and they have been en couraged by an UNPRINCIPLED OPPOSITION, Who COMliglily lost their places for introducing, when in office, the subject in Parliament, to the high displeasure of his Majesty. These proud boasters of Lilerty would have raised an altar fur ber de struction, and made themselves the Priests of Baal : these assurners of all political righteous ness, these all-knowing ones in false perverted whiggism, with the %choir train of their venal, corrupt, and vitiated r•-tainers, pushed their bold fleas as far as it would go. These pieces of pure and victue, gnashing their teeth over their dismission, would enlkt the Roman Catholics with the King's Protestant servants, the enemies to his Church, while they are anxious to serve him Hs Papists. Let no such men be trusted !—. Hurled nut of Government for their misdeeds, they fmtk like curs to be let in again, and their disappnini ment inflames their wt :oh, and increases their yell.

Did not that Nobleman know, hefote • he raised a man, that his son, as a Roman Ca tholic) could not cOrnmand the corps he had raised and equiped ? He must- have known it, if in his senses, and therefore had no reason to complain. His estate is near the coast, and pro bably he raised the corps for the satety of his own property. The Gentleman afterwards says, that the Roman Catholics contribute to the National Church. So do Dissenters of all descriptions ; and why not ? The State having tolerated their religion, has nothing to do with their-two-con formity, which is their owti CHOrCE. He then calls toleration persecution, and pausing, asks ' what it is ? It is not an abridgement, hut a grant of a right, which. by previous law they were restrained front. Their exclusion is neither pe nal, nor intolerant ; and nothing but the most blind deplorable stupidity, or.wilful besotted ig norance and prejudice, can suggest the contrary. Although no set of men were excluded before the laws of restriction were enacted, the right they then had was only suspended conditionally, ip consequence of their disaffection ; which it was ' in their power to regain ; bat not regaining it, they are self excluded, a►ui, as self -tormentors, are not entitled to what they now insidiously call for; which is to come into power, with a re ligion ruinou►► to .
